August 2015 Visit

They came intent on stepping out of the fray, far from the madding crowd, they told us. A charming couple: he, working on a masters degree in architecture; she, finishing her studies in public health. Well-informed on organics, knowledgeable in most things environmental, they came to test the comfort of our straw berths and the brilliance of our starlit skies. They must have liked what they found, as they lingered for three days, witnessing the farm’s varied modes and moods. As a parting gift, they left us a small token of their appreciation on a USB key.

Annual Farm Event: Méchoui

Our (almost) annual farm event is a large potluck méchoui we organise for members and friends at the end of the summer (yearly participation averaged about 150 people of all ages from 2011 to 2014). We took a break in 2015, and we’ll let you know plans for 2016 in due course.

The pics below from méchouis past will give you an idea of the great time that is had by all who have joined in.

Par-dessus le marché

Everytime you sample our beets, remember that we LOVE beets…so we can’t help but draw your attention to the brief documentary we participated in for V télé’s weekly foodie show, Par-dessus le marché, in September 2014 (unfortunately, the long-running PDLM aired for the last time in the Fall of 2014). The Arlington Gardens clip was all about beets – and the musical inspiration they provided the show’s producers.
